2,916,047 FLOW OF A IKE United States Patent AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF THE RATE OF gfigEw OF A FLUID THROUGH A PIPE OR THE Claims priority, application Great Britain December 22, 1952 1 Claim. (Cl. 137-501) This invention relates to the automatic regulation of the rate of flow of a fluid through a pipe, tube, ductor the like and has for its chief object to provide apparatus for this purpose which is self-acting and self-contained and capable of being pre-set to give a substantially constant predetermined rate of delivery in spite of variations in the supply and/or delivery pressures, provided the difference between these pressures is above a certain minimum necessary to actuate the apparatus.
While self-acting mechanisms for the regulation of the rate of flow of a fluid to a substantially constant and predetermined value have been known for some time, the range of application, speed of response and accuracy of control of such devices need improvement to satisfy many present day industrial requirements. The present invention aims at achieving a greater accuracy, wider range of usefulness and higher speed of control than has so far been accomplished in mechanisms working on a similar principle using a pressure-responsive device and employing the well known relationship between (1) the pressure difference across an orifice caused by a flow of fluid through the orifice, and (2) the magnitude of the flow.
According to the invention the improved apparatus includes a valve chamber through which the main fluid flows and which has a valve actuated by movement of a pressure-responsive device, said valve being of the doublebeat mushroom type accurately balanced by being exposed on both sides to the pressure of the fluid passing through the valve chamber, the valve being adjustable relative to its actuating pressure-responsive device and having one of its two seating surfaces independently adjustable relative to the valve faces, the apparatus being arranged so that the main fluid can flow into said valve chamber through a pipe or the like incorporating a flowrestriction orifice and so that the pressure-responsive device is moved by the diflerential pressures of the main fluid on the up-stream and down-stream sides of said orifice, the arrangement of the apparatus being such as to maintain automatically a substantially constant rate of delivery of the main fluid from the apparatus in spite of variations in the supply and/or delivery pressures. This substantially constant delivery rate is maintained, and/ or the delivery pressure, always provided the pressure differential is suflicient to establish a controllable flow.
The pressure-responsive device may take the form of an elastic membrane such as a bellows with its movable part operatively associated with the valve, such membrane being located so as to be moved by the said pressure differential.
in order that the invention may be more clearly understood and readily carried into effect the same will now be more fully described with reference to and by the aid of the accompanying drawings which illustrate two constructional forms of apparatus according to the invention.
Fig. l is a vertical section of the device of the present invention.
' stream pressure.
2,916,047 Patented Dec. 8, 1959 Figure 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line A--A of Figure 1.
Referring to the construction of Figures 1 and 2 the apparatus consists of a valve chamber housing 40 with flanged inlet 41 and flanged outlet 42 for connection to the supplyv and delivery pipes respectively, and a top cover plate 43 with plug 44 which can act as a vent. The housing has a central boss 45 into which are screwed upper and lower valve seatings 46, 47, the former being adjustable and having a lock nut.48.-- A short inner boss 49 guides the double-beat mushroom type valve 50 which is balanced to give a floating valve eflect.
An orifice plate 51 is located in the inletside of the housing 40 by a screwed ring 52 and a port 53 upstream of this communicates by passage 54 with the interior of a bellows housing 55 secured totlie housing 40. The
. bellows 56 has the properties of a spring and has its upper open end secured by a screwed collar 57 to the housing 40. =Itsclosed lower end is secured to the threaded extension 50 of the valve stem by a locking device 58 and can be adjusted up or down relative to the valves by W rotating the valve stem with a screw driver inserted through a bottom plug opening 59.
With such a construction it will be seen that the bellows interior is exposed to the fluid pressure downstream of the restriction orifice 51 and its exterior to the up- The magnitude of this difference in pressure depends upon the magnitude of the flow of fluid through the restriction, and when this reaches a value determined by (a) the size of the restriction (b) the stiffness of the bellows, and (c)the original distance of the valve heads from their respective seats, equilibrium is established, maintaining thisflow, by balancing the forceon the bellows exerted by'the differential pressure against the spring force caused by the deflection of the bellows.
Different values of the desired flow may conveniently be predetermined by:
(1) Screwing the valve stem more or less into its support on the bellows.
(2) Altering the size of the restriction orifice 51.
(3) Altering the distance of both valve seats from the bellows support.
The position of the valve relative to the seat may be indicated by extending the valve stem through the plug opening in the top cover plate 43 into a transparent chamber containing a graduated scale, and capable of accommodating the full longitudinal travel of the valve.
The use in the above described constructions of apparatus of a well balanced double-beat mushroom type valve gives very accurate control of the rate of delivery flow within a wide range of supply and delivery pressures, but the two seats should be approximately of the same cross-sectional area. However, when the diiference between the supply and delivery pressures rises, the slight diminution in flow which would take place if these areas were identical and the valves seated simultaneously can be eliminated by moving the seat remoter from the float or bellows by a small distance away from the other seat;
alternatively, if the valves seat simultaneously the remoter paratus by rendering the valve very sensitive even when controlling the flow of dirty or viscous liquids.
An apparatus according to the invention is not only automatic, but also self=aeting andfself-containedinthat the power for operating it is provided by the fluid whose flow is controlled by it. The term fluid has been used because the apparatus according to the invention may be suitable. for controlling the flow ofgases in certain circumstances-viz. in either of the illustrated constructions, with a steady supply density but fluctuating delivery density; or, by placing the restriction orifice on the other side of the valve and reversing the action of the valve, with a fluctuating supply density but a steady delivery density.
